Hi Everyone, I'm testing a bootstrap build of Wget. It only includes (1) Wget, and (2) OpenSSL; and nothing more. Wget static links to OpenSSL to avoid those festering path problems that plague Linux.
Wget was configured with --prefix=$HOME/bootstrap and --without-libunistring-prefix, but it appears config is picking up a copy of libunistring in /usr/local: [jwalton@localhost]$ ldd $HOME/bootstrap/bin/wget librt.so.1 => /lib/tls/librt.so.1 (0x00a46000) libunistring.so.2 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00bb0000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x0013d000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b98000) The is no libunistring in /usr/lib. Later, it causes a runtime failure because some genius thought it was a good idea compile and link against a library, then lose the library at runtime (or worse, link to the wrong library with the same name): [jwalton@localhost]$ $HOME/bootstrap/bin/wget --version /home/jwalton/bootstrap/bin/wget: error while loading shared libraries: libunistring.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I rm /usr/local then things work as expected. I believe --without-libunistring-prefix is not being honored by the configure scripts. Jeff
